"Hi Wayne,
Thank you for the message. I appreciate you checking on the hats for me. They are so great!!! I live in Mass and I would like to start a Smart Club in my area. Do you have any ideas on how to start one. Or maybe any place to research?…"

Hi Doreen,

Hi again Doreen...I don't really have any key pointers on starting a Smart club. Ours really started as a simple gathering at our dealer one Saturday for 2 or 3 hours, and we collected email addresses for everyone. From this small beginning, we just used emails, and this Insider website as well as our other site (smartcarolinas.ning.com) to plan breakfast/lunch gatherings at restaurants around the area. Our gatherings have had around 10-15 cars showing up usually, but last June we had about 30-35 for a special lunch, followed by our group being allowed to drive our cars on the Charlotte Motor Speedway for 3 laps. That was a great day! You may want to talk to your local dealer and see if they would at least help you publicize your first gathering. If I remember right, our dealer was helpful enough to email new owners to tell them of our first gathering. After that, we took over the notification process on our own, using the emails we collected at the event, and also posting planned events here on the Insider. Hope this helps you get started, and I'll give you a shout on those Santa hats ASAP. Have a good weekend and hope you enjoy your Smart as much as I have!

Hi Doreen....sorry for the slow reply regarding our oversized Santa hats shown in my photo. Several of our group got together back in the fall and stitched these hats together as a group effort. If I remember hearing correctly, they made about a dozen hats. Our group is getting together for a lunch run next week, and I'll ask if they have their directions/patterns for creating them. (I missed out on the hats too. I was loaned one of the hats for these parade days.) I'll get back to you ASAP.

Hi Doreen,
Once they they figure this problem out, you will love your smart. I've only had very minor issues with mine and am in love with it. It is perfect for taking cats to the vet! It will probably turn out to be something the car is doing intentionally to inhibit the results of sommething done incorrectly. It is a pretty smart little car!
Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas. Your baby will be home with you soon!

Doreen, it may take a a few days till the right people see your discussion, sure hope you will get good help. Merry Christmas to you, and I wish they can fix your car ... you will love it ones it's fixed.
